Max Gerstein

financial Advisor, shortfall planner, and Estate Planner in Dubai

I’m Max Gerstein — a private wealth advisor based in Dubai, working with globally mobile individuals, families, and entrepreneurs who want clarity and control over their financial world.

My work sits at the intersection of wealth management, cross-border structuring, and long-term financial architecture. I help clients organise their assets, understand their trajectories, and make decisions that align with the life they want to build — not just the numbers in front of them.

I take a family-office approach:
quiet, strategic, relationship-driven, and rooted in governance.
No jargon. No noise. Just clear thinking and disciplined execution.

With UK FCA-aligned qualifications and membership in the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investments, I bring a standard of professionalism normally reserved for institutional environments. This approach contributed to my division being recognised as Best in Client Services by International Adviser, and Skybound being named Best Financial Advisory in the Middle East.

I work best with people who value rigour: executives, founders, international families, and individuals whose financial lives span borders, currencies, and jurisdictions. They come to me for one reason —
to bring order, insight, and intention to complexity.
